But this is not the main fact which in
dicates IA future famine. Ii is now
known that from 30 to 40 per cent.
less calves were born this spring than
is usual. owing to climatic causes,
which must have its effect in time. To
this must be added the fact that cat
tie producers have been rushing their
surviving stock on the market at an
unparalleled rate, and from these and
other causes many ranchmen are DIS
couraged and are going out of the bus
mess. Great. unea>iness. such as has
never before characterized the cattle
business. is manifest in business cir
cles. Producers find not dollar
profit, and more often heavy losses,
charged against their accounts. The
market price has been lower on ac-
count of the glut. for in Chicago alone
over POO, 900 head O! cattle have been
thrust on the marke; during the last
thirty days. The consumer, however,
gets beef no cheaper because the con
sunier sells it for so little. 1t is limited
that the profit goes to the dressed
beet monopoly. who lash both sides
the producer and consumer alike. Or

The consumer pays the monopoly the

Horses are frequently troubled by
brittle hoofs. CAUSED by deficiency Of
water in the bone. This is caused in
various ways-fever of the feet, or the
common founder: Inflammation ofth
interior OF the foot; exposure to fer
menting manure or filthy stables, 10y
which the horn is saturated with mOis-
ture containing ammonia; leaving the
feet covered with mud; cont inued hot
or dry weather, or an unhealthy con-
dtion OF the system, will produce this
trouble in the feet The horn becomes
dry and granulated, and separates
very easily, crumbling or splinterinI
away until there is scarcely crust
enough left to fasten the shoe upon.
The remedy is, of course, To remove
the cause and restore the moisture.
Frequent washing os the feet wi, h
cold water, with attention to the
health, and to give the horse clean
bedding and an earth floor to stand
upon, or else a deep bed OF sawdust,
will prevent it, or cure it IN many
cases. Glycerine and water in equal
parts is an excellent dressing for the
hoofs. An occasional soft feed, as
bran mash with little linsee,l, is also
useful, because it keeps the horse III
good health and cool. Tar is some
times used as n hooi dressing with ad-
vantage. but it needs caution in it's
app!ication.-Boston Transcript.

TINE RArrlesMAkE's SAD EYE.


Never seeing a snake charm n bird
or animal I concluded it was "a negro
superstition or fancy, says "a writer in
Forest and Stream. So I continued
to think until few days ago when a
farmer friend of mine, living four miles
south of Abilene, told me what he had
lately witnessed. lie said he was rid
ing along on IA prairie and saw a prairie
dog within few feet OF him which re-
refused to scamper to his hole, as
prairie dogs usually do when ap-
preached by man; on the contrary, he
sat az il transfixe,l to the spot, though
making n constant nervous, shudder-
ing motion, as ii anxious to get away.
My friend thought this was strange,
and while considering the spectacle he
presently saw n large rattlesnake
coied up under some bushes, his head
uplifted, about six or seven feet from
the dog, which still needed him not. .
but looked steadily upon the snake.
lie dismounted, took the dog by the
head and thrust him of. when the
snake, which had up to that moment
remained quiet, Immediately swelled
with rage and began sounding his rat
ties. The prairie dog for some time
seemed benumbed, hardly capable OF
motion. but grew better and finally
got into his hole. My friend then
killed the RATHER. Now, was this n
case OF charming? Ii not, what was
it? Ny friend who told me this is
named John Irving Mcclure. a farmer.
well known to me. "a good and truthful
man. now give it up that snakes do
indeed charm or so paralyze birds and
little animals with terror when they
can catch their eye that they become
helpless and motionless, almost as
good as dead. What do the scientists
say?
And to one who is familiar with the
eyes Of rattlesnakes it does not seem
unreasonable that they should have
such power; Ii you will examine the
eyes of one when it is cold in death
you will perceive that it has an ex-
tremely malignant and terrible ex-
preston. When he is alive and ex-
cited know of nothing in all nature
OF so dreadful appearance as the eye
OF IA rattlesnake. 1t is enough tO

mails, but men with nightmare. lhavG

to meet him, and, after an earnest
conversation, the man mounted his
animal and rode away.

Little acts of courtesy put sunshine
into life. Who has not felt the day
brighten from kindly act done them,
or even from cheerful good-morn-
ing?
The following pretty anecdo.e speaks
for itself: AS a young lady walked
hurriedly down State street on bleak
November day, her attention was at
tracted 10 a deformed boy coming to-
ward her carrying several bundles. He
was thinly clad. twisted his limbs most
strangely when he walked. and looked
before him with vacant stare. Just
before the cripple reached the brisk
pedestrian he stumbled, and dropped
one bundle, which broke open and
emptied string Of sausages on the
sidewalk.
One or two richly dressed ladies
drew their skirts aside; as they passed,
one of them exclaimed, How awk-
wardr' A lad stood grinning at the
mishap. and a school girl, amused by
the boys looks and blank dismay. gave
vent to her feelings in half-sup-
pressed laugh, and then went on with
out taking any further interest.
All this increased the boys en-
barrassment. He stopped TO pick up
the sausages only 10 let fall another
parcel, when, in despair, he stood and
looked at his lost spoils. In an in
slant the bright-faced stranger stepped
10 the boys side, and in tone of
thorough kindness said. "I.et me hold
those other budles while you pick up
what you have lost"
In dumb establishment the cripple
handed all he had 10 the young Samar-
itan, and devoted himself 10 securing
his cherished sausages. When these
were again strongly tied in the coarse,
torn wrapper, her skillful hands re-
placed the parcels on his scrawny
arms, as she bestowed on him a smile
